Re: DJ Augustin to Indy

On the contrary, since Cho became GM last summer he has pretty much followed through on the exact plan he laid out upon his hiring. He blew up the roster, started acquiring draft picks, and tanked the strike shortened season to get a high draft pick (which everyone knew was coming before the season started.)

<---- Hansbrough smiling in the training room after Gerald Henderson's cheap shot. UNC won the game, Tyler was happy so he took this picture. Roy Williams keeps it on his desk.

I've seen him play a lot and I think his future is as a back-up PG in this league. I don't think he's a starting PG for a playoff team.

But for the record, you can't lay last season at the feet of DJ Augustin. Tanking the strike shortened season to get a good draft pick was part of Rich Cho's plan. DJ was not put in a position to succeed based on the moves the Bobcats made. They blew up the roster so they could start over.

Re: DJ Augustin to Indy

2/7.5 hmmm only tyler really fits in that category for salaries matching...I think cho would prefer TPE then. What I wonder is what asset we have to give up if it is for a TPE....I hope it isn't a first.

I have attended more Bobcats games that I would like to admit. I've seen DJ play a lot since he's been in the NBA.

He is a dangerous 3pt shooter and has proven capable of knocking down clutch outside shots. He doesn't have good shot selection, and that is reflected in his overall FG%. He is a major liability on defense. He has a history of pouting if he isn't a starter.

The thing I remember most about Augustine is that he is short. Really really short. Nice quicks though. A change of environment might do him good, especially if the INDY WATER helps him grow 3 inches.

I don't see this guy being a guy that can get the Pacers to the ECF finals. Hope I'm either wrong about him or the FO sees him as a really good 3rd PG.
